Studio 8 Yoga & Wellness

A wonderful suprise! On a whim, I attended a virtual session of Yin Restorative Yoga and experienced the state that the words relax and renew are attatched to.  Jenny would share a position to try, then offered a variety of suggestions for me to support myself and surrender to the shape.  The class moved into a few positions to find a balance within the body. The hour was over in a matter of minutes. I found the experience to be a nice self investment.

Now in week 7 of my yoga journey...why I didn’t start this years ago I’ll never know. Studio 8 classes have become my primary workout for 4-5 days a week. I have participated in 5 different style classes and each one has challenged me and resulted in a great workout. The increases in flexibility and strength are obvious. Owner Joan St Clair and her wonderful staff are all masters in the forms, poses and modifications so that all levels of experience and ability are accommodated. Thank you Joan, Julie, Jennifer, Jenny, Gina, Rebecca, Rachel, Sarah and Samantha. I highly recommend you give them a try...thankful I did!

Love being a part of the Studio 8 family.  Joan and her staff are amazing.  I’ve been practicing yoga regularly for almost 10 years and the difference it’s made physically and mentally is incredible!

I have become happily addicted to Jennifer’s 4:30 Thursday classes!!! The 45 minute class doesn’t seem to skimp on anything—after a quick stretch, we jump right into a lively, challenging power flow, accompanied by perfectly matched playlist that ranges from environmental sounds, new age, new takes on recognizable songs, and international music. Jennifer’s tempo is what I call slow and hard—by holding poses, our strength and balance are pushed to the max. I absolutely love her soothing voice coaching me through the  moves and offering upbeat remarks and giggles. Happily she now has a 9:30 Saturday morning class so I can get a 2nd weekly dose.

I thoroughly enjoy the Studio 8 classes and their staff. I’ve participated in everything from TRX to Power Flow and can earnestly say that I feel improvements in my strength, flexibility and balance. As a >55 novice...I luv the staff and their instruction and encouragement during the classes. Joan, Julie, Jennifer, Jenny and Gina are awesome...Prost!

By far the BEST yoga studio in the area! Like most people, I assume, I was nervous going to my first class. Fears of not knowing anything about yoga, or if I was flexible enough. All of my fears subsided after my first class with Joan. The teachers at Studio8 are professional, knowledgeable, kind, and patient. I never felt left-out, or embarrassed.

I highly recommend Studio8 if you are looking to begin a yoga journey. I promise, you’ll fall in love with everything Studio8 has to offer!

The real deal!

Gina's Yin Yoga class today was a great way to loosen up after all that hard work from Joan's TRX yesterday. Studio 8 provides such a harmonious balance of yin and yang.

I loved Joan’s class this morning. It provided just enough challenge. It was just what my body needed. Felt great afterwards.
I also want to mention how much I also enjoyed Samantha’s Power Yoga class and her meditation class (so relaxing).

Joan’s Strength and Mobility class is amazing. She is a fantastic instructor. I would recommend this class to anyone trying to keep their body moving.
